All praise is due to Allah Who is magnificent in his essence. Perfect and his attributes are undeniable in His presence. All praise is due to Allah Who has the most magnificent names of praise that is forever for him. A praise that eternally remains may send peace and blessings in their most perfect fashion may send greetings and salutations that are complete and everlasting upon the best of his creation. Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam may perfect his rank and elevate his station for he taught us what we did not know. And he gave and he gave and he gave because he loved us. So Allah Subhana Allah says in the Quran, Oh you who believe fear Allah as he deserves to be feared and
do not die except in a state of Islam. And Allah says oh mankind's, Fear your Lord who created you from a single soul and produce from that soul its mate, and made from their combination many men and women, so Fear your Lord whom you ask each other by and by the ties of kinship, verily, Allah is Ever Watchful over you. And Allah says, Oh, you who believe, fear Allah and say that which is correct, he will correct for you your deeds, and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, then they are indeed victorious to proceed.
My brothers and sisters,
as we continue to
live with the events that are happening with our brothers and sisters and vases and philosophy.
I wanted to spend this quote by reflecting on
a question that people ask amongst many questions that people ask, and that is, what is the wisdom of Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, and people going through the trials that they are going to go
through the trials that they are going through, and I wanted to briefly share with you a concept and that is that we believe that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah is Al Hakim, Allah subhanaw taala is the always
and Allah Subhana Allah to Allah in many verses in the Quran, he pairs his name and Hakeem with the name of Jesus, and as easily Hakeem the mighty and the wise. And when Allah subhanaw taala pairs.
Allah says, might with his wisdom, or Allah subhana diatas might in the Quran with Allah subhanho wa Taala being praiseworthy,
these pairings are not pairings that we should just rattle off
and not pay attention to. But we should reflect on what Allah Subhana Allah is communicating to us. And one of the things that we should pay attention to, is that Allah Subhana Allah when he pairs his wisdom with his might, it is to indicate to us that Allah Subhana Allah when he does something, it is because He is mighty and wise. But when ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada does not act according to our timeline, but according to his timeline, when Allah subhanho data does not do what we want him to do. It is also out of his mind, it's not out of his inability.
And so ALLAH SubhanA died when he mentioned that he has it as easily Hakeem, a person may ask where is the help of Allah Subhana Allah dialer for the
People fall asleep. Know that Allah Subhana Allah tireless delay is not because of inability, but it is because of his wisdom and you don't know and ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada knows I give you a brief example.
In surah Bucha, Allah subhanho wa Taala mentions a massacre that happened, a stain on human history, put it off, have a look, do the people who do their kills?
And Allah Subhana Allah says, Why am I not coming home a lot, you know, Billa Heelas is in Hemet. Allah subhanho wa Taala describes this event. These people were killed. These people who were trenches were dug for them. And those trenches were lit on fire as habitable dude. And that believing community was forced to they were thrown into those trenches, they were burned alive.
It was a horrible event in human history. And Allah subhanaw taala says the only reason why they were hated is because they believed in Allah Allah Aziz al Hamad, the mighty li praiseworthy. So why does Allah subhanaw taala mentioned these two names here, the Morpho city and said number one, he mentioned that as he is because it is to indicate to us that he had the power to stop it.
Allah was not overwhelmed by that King, Allah subhanaw taala was not overwhelmed by his army, Allah Subhana Allah could have caused that kick to pass away. Allah subhanaw taala could have destroyed the army like he destroyed the army of abre. And us I will feel Allah subhanaw taala could have done that. But Allah allowed for that event to happen.
Why did he allow for that event to happen? He is an athlete. He's an Hamid he's praiseworthy in allowing for it to happen, he's praiseworthy and allowing for it to happen. Why? Because the outcome, the consequences were praiseworthy. What are the praiseworthy consequences of something like that happening? Those people being martyred, that's a praiseworthy consequence for them. When that person enters into Jannah, will walk along the hola and he says love hate if you hate him by the Hunan relationship if he shouted me by the whole agenda, there is no harm in any harm that leads to paradise. And there is no good in any good that leads to the hellfire, I will welcome the Lord
who is sharing with us a phrase that's beautiful that we should all memorize, we should make this a motto in our lives, that if a person enters into Jannah because of a hardship, then there was no hardship in it, of a person enters into Jannah because of a pain, then there was no pain in it. A person enters into Jannah because of a calamity that it wasn't really a calamity in the first place. It might have been the greatest thing that they experienced in their life, if it is cause for them to enter into agenda. There is no harm in any harm that leads to paradise. And likewise, there is no good in any good that leads to the hellfire.
Allah Subhana Allah is an Hamid in allowing for that to happen, he is the praiseworthy because the consequences are praiseworthy for them. And the consequences are praiseworthy for those individuals who violently undertook the genocide of those people because they had their ledgers filled with another crime for them to meet Allah subhana data with and when they are judged in front of Allah with that crime of killing those people that will be praiseworthy, that will be praised when they when they stand in front of Allah Subhana Allah with that, so I wanted to share some of the wisdoms of Allah subhanaw taala number one the question comes what is the wisdom of Allah? If Tina and
mashallah domestic is already full of brothers could please make space and move forward for your brothers who are standing outside?
Yeah, you had lady unarmed with a killer looking for selfie the majority FAFSA illa Allah. Allah subhana data says Oh you who believe when it is told to you to make space in gatherings make space that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah make space for you that Allah subhanaw taala to make things expensive for you, Ma sha Allah
the first
wisdom of Allah subhanaw taala and calamities and this is not to encompass at all. But the first wisdom is that those calamities become a bridge to you in Jannah they become a bridge to you and Jana Allah subhanaw taala says a Hasim as I'm Hasebe to, um has him and that whole agenda. Do you think that you will enter into paradise while I'm yet to Matthew Lavina Holloman publikum Do you think that you will enter Jannah and you will not experience with those who
existed before you experienced? mircette Tomori butser or Godhra Oh azul zero hat Jaya Kula Rasulullah Levina Ahmed OMA Amata Rasulullah sallallahu Allah Subhana Allah says, Do you think that you will enter gentlemen so you experienced with those before you experience they were afflicted by BITSAT with the raw harm in their bodies and
harm and their wealth harm around them was Zulu, Zulu and they were shaken. They were shaken to their core Allah subhanaw taala says the words, zero, indicating like it is an earthquake. That is how severely they were shaken had Jaya Kula Rasulullah Lavina Ahmed Houma until the prophet is those who believed with him, say, When is the help of Allah going to come? Allah in the masala who rarely the help of ALLAH is near.
We know that this life is a test.
And every exam you've ever taken in your life had problems.
Yeah, have to solve the problems for you to pass the exam.
And this life, which is a test is the same way. In fact, Allah Subhana Allah promises and he says, Look at Kalapana in Santa Monica, but we've created man to be in a state of problems. And so if a person knows that this dunya was meant to be a place of problems than the problems aren't as difficult, because you know, that's what you're here for him. I'm gonna quote him. He has a beautiful statement, his staff said, he says hi to Mr. Owner, he said, our scholars have said that the first mokaba that the first difficulty that a person goes through is the cutting of their umbilical cord. Right then when you're a baby.
And then being wrapped in the blanket, you capital lick, they go through the difficulty of being constricted in that in that blanket, then that person goes through the difficulty of Alfetta and weaning, then they go through the difficulty of school, do you remember school, 12 years, homework, exams, teachers, bullies, all of those problems, we look as kids now and we think they don't have problems. But if you ask these kids do you have problems, they'll say we got big problems.
And then the problems of university and Academy says that mildly more Hey, better, being afraid of a teacher. And then they go through the problems of getting married. And then you get married and you realize that before you have the problems of a single person, now you have the problems of a married person or problems. A married person, being single didn't solve your problems. It just introduced you to a different layer of problems. And then you have children and the problems multiply. And then you go through the problems of being too sore, I gotta buy a house.
Then by then, everything is settled. He says no, then your health starts the weed.
And you go through the problems of the pain of your teeth and the pain of your knees. And then he's a supermoto by the dialectically and then after all of that is death
and the questioning of the angels and the darkness of the grief. And then it's the day of judgment and it's tears had Dyess Doctor maybe he'll color in my future no in math in law until finally, a person enters into gender or the hellfire. But this world was made to be a place of tests. This world was never meant to be problem free that's what didn't this for anybody who was looking for a problem free existence, you're looking for it in the wrong place. This place Allah Subhana Allah Tada made a means for you to enter into Jannah and not only that, these calamities become a source for your raising agenda there's a beautiful Hadith report about Buddhahood the province that Lola
they have sent them says in the lab data subaqua home and Allah human Zilla to let me be Amelie here, Abdullah Allah He just said he ofI mighty overview in
the province of Elijah Selim says that if Allah Subhana Allah desires a level for a person in Jannah, but their actions do not
allow for them to reach that level.
Allah Subhana Allah then gives them a calamity in their selves, or in their wealth or in their children. So Messiah Bara who Allah that ik, and then he gives him patience, to endure that calamity. Until they reach that level that Allah subhanho data desired for them.
A person's actions may not warrant the place in Jannah, that Allah subhanaw taala desires for them.
And so he grants them a calamity and then grants them patience to endure that calamity. Until they ascend through that calamity to the place that Allah subhanaw taala wanted for them.
calamities are also a means of Temkin fill out. calamities are a means of a person receiving authority in the land. You see what our brothers and sisters and Philistine are going through of incredible trial. Imam Shafi was asked which is better than a person and you must kind of fill out
oh and yesterday which one is better that that person be given authority in the land power?
Is that better or that a person be weak and that a person endure?
Is it better to be on top? Or is it better to be
those who are abused and those who are oppressed which one is better? My machete set.
Len UMAC can fill out Hattah euteller. A person will never be given authority in the land until they are tested until they are trials.
Because he says new was tried
and Ibrahim was tried
and Musa was tried, and Risa was tried. And Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, they all went through trials before they ever reached any authority. Allah Subhana Allah says what your men whom are emitted Do not be angry now. Lemme Sabado What can I do be it now?
Allah says We made from them Imams leaders, guide guiding by our path when when did we make them into great Imams and leaders, lemma sobre when they endured, you have to endure first you have to go through the fire first, you have to go through the trials. First. You have to go through the problems first. You have to be selected by Allah subhanaw taala first, and then when you are qualified, then the authority may come. Lama Sabado wakad will be it now you know and in our science they used to believe and that's why the Scholars mentioned that for a person to reach an email Murphy Dean for a person to reach a mama greatness leadership in the Dean they have to be protected
from two things. Number one is Shaohua desires and that comes from sovereign comes from enduring. It comes from persevering it comes from resisting desires. And the second is protection from Shewhart protection from doubts and that comes with certainty. And so these Imams had these two qualities number one, they were persevering they resisted their desires and number two they were protected from doubts intellectual and physical. Both they were protected from and so they reached Imam a 15 calamities purify the believers from attributes that are contradictory to EMA
attributes that are contradictory to Eman Allah subhanaw taala says what no blue ablution accom Hattah Anna element Mujahideen mn comm Allah Subhana Allah says and we will test you until we know those who strive in our way and know the those who are patient had dynamin Mujahideen iminco Mousavi Rena where WR Kabbalah calm and we will surely test you until we make evident those who strive among you for the cause of Allah and those who are patient and we will test your affairs. Also, it beautifully brings about a different level of servitude to Allah Subhana Allah we all know this, that when a person is going through hardship, they call to Allah subhanho wa Taala in a way that
they don't call to Allah when life is good. And we wish that it was different we wish that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada we could call upon Him likely call upon Allah subhana wa Tada when we're in pain all the time. But that's not the way that we're designed. We are not designed to call upon Allah subhanho wa Taala with the same level of passion and the same level of pain and the same level of angst in the same level. And yet ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada then what he does is he casts upon us difficulties every once in a while that he may hear from us the pain that Allah subhanaw taala hear from us that that, that Allah Subhana Allah hear from us the call that Allah subhanaw taala hear
from us, our Christ. And even when the trial passes, we may look back at those times. We're going through such incredible pain and difficulty and we say I long for the closeness that I used to have with Allah subhanho data in those days. I don't miss the time I don't miss the trial. I don't miss the pain, but I miss the sweetness.
I miss her automatic tahajud was I miss how regularly I used to come to the masjid. I miss how the tears used to fall on my cheek. I miss how I was so consistent in drought, ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada says, the halal facade if you will very well but anyway, my cousin had a the nurse leader vehicle mother, Lady Abdullah, I love your journey. Allah says corruption has occurred in the land in the sea due to poor people's hands have wrought that he gives them a taste of what they used to do that they may return Allah subhanaw taala sometimes gives you a taste so that you can come back to him.
And so ask Allah Subhana Allah to Allah, that you'll be protected from trials and ask Allah that you taste that sweetness of call upon Him while you are Shakir. While you are showing gratitude to Allah. Don't make it just that you call upon Allah when you're in pain that ALLAH SubhanA data continues to send you pain just so that he could hear your voice. Ask Allah
Hanna data that you show gratitude to Allah, that you'll be of His servants that are grateful that you pay attention to the blessings that ALLAH SubhanA Medina has given you that you may call upon Allah Subhana. Allah when you are enamored by blessings, not just when you are encompassed by paid so a man at a salon is walking, and he's here's the ants talk. And he says, Rob voz an escort Anam, Attica Lee and Antonio allow it they went amorosa hadn't thought about cleaning their attic, a very radical side of it. So the man is the love he asked Allah or Allah allow me to encompass, showing gratitude to you for the blessings that you have bestowed upon me and my parents. Let me be grateful
to you, Oh Allah, allow me to encompass, showing gratitude to you
that you have bestowed upon me and my parents and grant me actions that you are pleased with and enter me amongst the host of your believing servants
of the blessings and of the wisdoms of hardship is that it exposes the hypocrites, it exposes the hypocrites.
When life is good, the hypocrites always mixed with the Muslims.
But when trials happen,
that the ranks get splits.
You see, even with philosophy you see those who immediately their support their well out to the Ummah comes out, their courage for the OMA comes out.
Their love for the OMA comes out.
And you see those who drag their feet
and you see those who support the other side.
These calamities come and they differentiate between the believers and the hypocrites.
And actualizes as well the servitude that comes with hardship they actualize is the servitude that comes with hardship ALLAH SubhanA data says will matter of setting up your career to maybe Ilaha
illa Allah.
Allah Subhana Allah Allah says, and we never sent the Prophet, except that we send trials to those people, that they may return to Allah subhanaw taala let us not be those who missed the entire lesson of what is happening right now. And let us return to Allah Subhana Allah to Allah and invoke Allah and be of those who are considered to be of supporting our brothers and sisters with our drought with our righteousness Hakuna Massey, Mr. Mustafa Allah they were looking for stuff through novela for Rahim.
Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah while I do cybersafe simply Philip.
Another question about the wisdoms of Allah comes with what is the wisdom or what is what are some wisdoms of ALLAH SubhanA data delaying the response to our drought? How many people over the past 50 days have been making dua for ALLAH SubhanA data to protect our brothers sisters and philosophy? How many millions of people how many people in America how many people in tahajjud how many people in pain have been making?
What are the wisdoms of Allah Subhana Allah de league the response to that are out. There are many wisdoms and whether it's in full steam or whether it's in your own personal life.
You may be asking Allah Subhana Allah dialer for something for such a long time.
And yet you don't see the response that you want.
There are many wisdoms of those wisdoms is to test your patience. Allah subhana wa Tada says in the manual for cyber ordinator accumulated this happened. The people who are given reward without account or those who are patients. suburb can be one of the greatest attributes that a person can actualize. Patience, endurance, perseverance.
Number two, it may be that you are not ready yet. You know the story of the boy in the butterfly.
There was a boy who saw a butterfly was trying to come out of the cocoon.
And it was struggling so hard to come out of that cocoon. And so what he did was he grabbed a pair of scissors, he hated to see it struggling, and he opened the cocoon and the butterfly came out.
But when the butterfly came out, it was small, weak, its wings were crumpled, it couldn't fly. It could only drag is underdeveloped body on the ground.
And so that boy, in his eagerness to help the butterfly, he actually stunted its developments.
that struggle for the butterfly to come out was part of its development that it needed that it could be strong in this world.
And similarly,
there may come times when you are making drought for something, but you're not actually ready for that data to be actualized
you still need to persevere a little bit more, you still need to endure a little bit more, how many people are making dua for ALLAH SubhanA data to get married at 21 years old, and they're not ready to be married at 21 years old.
And when they get married at 28, or 30, or 33, or 35, they look back and they say and Hamdulillah that Allah Subhana Allah data, did this on my on his timeline and not my timeline, my timeline, I would have been the completely wrong person, and I would have been the wrong person.
Trusting that Allah Subhana Allah data is always
and realizing that ALLAH SubhanA data's choice for you is better. And that what you dislike can be better for you than what you like.
And the lastly, that I mentioned, is that I see that we're already out of time, but one of the things that impede a person's drop are their own sense. You know, I'm gonna topple the line, who's the great conqueror of the Muslim world.
You're going to study anybody studying Oh, my God, Allah and who, who the Persians and the Romans fell under his reign, two superpowers of the world.
But more than what her mother did, we should pay attention to how our mother did it.
And remember the law on who used to write letters to his generals, and used to say in the mountains alone, I mean, Osama, he would say you are given victory from the heavens.
You are only given victory because you sinned less, he would say you are only given victory because you sinned less than your enemy.
And if your sins are equal with the sins of your enemy,
then it goes back to whoever has better material preparation. And the Muslims were never materially more prepared than their enemies. They never outnumbered the Romans. They never outnumbered the Persians. They were never bigger, physically stronger. They never had better technology. But what they had was greater hearts. And what they had was the support of ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada and so every single one of us should also look at what are the sins between me and my drought being accepted. The province of allied ism gives the great example in say a Muslim when he says some other kind of ledger you'll play to stuff up I have a buddy I'm gonna be a de la semi ya Rob we are up almost I'm
gonna have I'm gonna shut up whoo hoo ha what does he have been held off and nice the job. A person who's traveling, dusty and disheveled, humbled and broken, exhausted, extending his hands towards the sky, calling out to Allah Ya love ya Allah. This is a traveler. He's humbled. He's broken. He's raising his hands. He's calling Allah by His names and attributes. These are all Check, check, check, check, check. This person's drought is going to be accepted. But the province of Allah Islam says, but his food was haram and his clothes were held off and he was nourished with how so How can his hat be accepted?
You have to make sure your income is halal. You avoid sins as best as you can because these things impede a person's throughout being accepted. We ask Allah Azza to allow us to hear the speech and follow the best of it. We ask Allah to protect our brothers and sisters and follows Thiet that Allah Subhana Allah to Allah heal their hearts and Heal their brokenness and have mercy on their dead and heal their sick and that Allah subhanaw taala unite their word upon truth and that ALLAH SubhanA wa Tada get the victory. We asked and grant them freedom. And we ask Allah Subhana Allah to allow us to be of their supporters. We ask Allah to grant us Jana and to grant them Jen that Allah Subhana Allah
to Allah grant us the best of this life and the best of the next Allah manana Erica Janome affordability Hammond Khalid Mohammed when are already come in and narrow Makabe they have encoded Mohamed Aloha Maxine husana taqwa, Jackie Han teittleman Zika Antonio how Mola Allahu Maximilian I mean cliche Tikka magic, Hulu behaving and obeying the Masoretic, I mean to it come out to the local neighborhood agenda tech.
